The dog walker comes at 10:30 to let her out, feed her, play and then she goes back in her crate till I come home at 3:00 (no accidents but I do think she misses me while Im away)
at 3 we go for a long walk to the park (this is anywhere from 1 hour to 3 hours), then we go home and practice tricks, then eat,
after 3 she stays out of her crate until bedtime (around 10).
she is doing great with not going in her crate. we have had about 2 accidnets in the crate so far.
sometime after dinner I will have 5 min crate time where i walk by her crate and give her treats for being good and quiet.
so far so good. |
I would be very careful of taking a 3 month old out for walks due to she isn't fully vaccinated against parvo. I would also be very careful of over doing it when it comes to long walks. Young puppies need lots of rest and too long of walks his harder on them then it is good for them. I think it's great that you are working so hard to socialize and train I'd just suggest doing it in your home or a fenced in yard til your pup has had all her shots and exercise in short spells a few times a day instead of one long walk.
